PianARobics^TM began as jazz and improvisation lessons taught by Don Hurless to his piano students who were interested in learning how to play in a jazz style. Originally, the course consisted of mimeographed sheets of weekly lessons given out to these students to work on in addition to their classical lessons.

Over the years, many students commented that once at college, they were able to test out of theory classes, due to the jazz training by Hurless. And many wished they still had those loose-leaf pages to refer to from time to time.

That's when Hurless decided to put the package together in both video and print lessons, and PianARobics^TM was born. (Read more here.)
